ARCHITECTURAL LEGACY CHALLENGE:

——————————————————

This challenge is inspired by the lives and creations of famous architects, most of which lean into modern design. The aspirations, traits, and goals of each generation are all common in a legacy challenge. However, I am more of a builder in The Sims, so I wanted to create a legacy challenge that really leans into the building aspect of the game. Each generation must live in a house that is a replica or derives inspiration from that architect’s portfolio. I will attach a singular inspiration photo for each, but I highly recommend doing your own research to find the best reference photo for your build! I also plan on posting my own builds for each generation on the gallery.

EXT. CEMETARY - NIGHT After all the Edgewave events...Ada placed her mothers urn next to her father, reuniting the two. She missed them terribly, as much as her friends tried to cheer her up.

painting animation override (+ mini easels, canvas override)

download on patreon (early access) (public release - 06/30/25)

1. painting animation override

a bar stool appears automatically at the beginning of the painting interaction.

the override applies only to small and medium canvases. large paintings use the default animation.

if a sim gets distracted while painting, they will stand up and then sit back down :(

there are two animation styles based on the sim's gender. you can switch between them using my other mod — more info here! you can also set the default ea animation style for individual sims if you prefer that.

this mod works for teen to elder sims and is not compatible with the "kids sims can paint" mod by zulf.

2. functional mini easels

i also made three functional mini easels based on the existing game easels. they can be placed on tables and used for painting.

includes all ea swatches.

use bb.moveobjects before placing them.

3. canvas and frame override

this override changes the thickness and frame of the canvas.

there are three versions with different frame colors — please download only one!

(without gshade)

the canvas thickness is the same in all versions. here’s a comparison with the original ea canvas:

also, don’t worry if the easels now show up as “modded” in build/buy. i had to slightly adjust their slots so the new canvas looks right on them. this mod is compatible with any paintings overrides.

this is how the mod turned out! i spent a long time trying to make the sim sit on a real chair and paint — but in the end, it just didn’t work, so i settled on this version instead. feel free to reach out if you run into any issues or have any questions! ❤️

INT. LOUNGE - NIGHT Ada met with Julia for their get to know you date. The two matched on Cupids Corner and the two hit it off. The ladies a bit of wine and ended the night with a dance...

[simmy-idea-dump]

EXT. CIUDAD ANAMORADA - DAY While on her exploration, Ada noticed that romance is quite ingrained into this city. Everywhere she went there were monuments about love...Ada is not necessarily looking for love, but a little romance here and there won't hurt. So with that train of thought, Ada signed up for Cupids corner and snatched herself a get to know you date...
